A coordinate system (in meters) is constructed on the surface of a pool table, and three objects are placed on the table as follows: a 6.0−kg object at the origin of the coordinate system, a 12.0−kg object at (0, 2.0), and a 17.0−kg object at (4.0, 0). Find the resultant gravitational force exerted by the other two objects on the object at the origin.

  1. A coordinate system (in meters) is constructed on the surface of a pool table, and three objects are placed on the table as follows: a 6.0 k g object at the origin of the coordinate system, a 12.0 k g object at ( 0 , 2.0 ), and a 17.0 k g object at ( 4.0 , 0 ). Find the resultant gravitational force exerted by the other two objects on the object at the origin.
